The
Blackmagic Design DeckLink IP 100G is a high‑performance PCIe Generation 4 capture and playback card engineered for cutting‑edge SMPTE 2110 IP video workflows. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern broadcast, streaming, and virtual production environments, it delivers eight simultaneous Ultra HD channels over dual redundant 100G QSFP28 Ethernet ports. This low‑profile, full‑height card slots into any standard PCIe 8‑lane Gen 4 slot and leverages GPU Direct RDMA for ultralow latency processing and real‑time graphics acceleration.
With comprehensive
SMPTE 2110 compliance—including 2110‑20 uncompressed video, 2110‑30 PCM audio, and 2110‑40 ancillary data—plus SMPTE 2110‑21 traffic shaping, the DeckLink IP 100G integrates seamlessly into managed IP networks. Precision Time Protocol (PTP) synchronization (IEEE 1588‑2008/ST 2059) and SMPTE 2022‑7 stream redundancy ensure glitch‑free video and audio delivery, while NMOS IS‑04/IS‑05 support provides plug‑and‑play device discovery and connection management across multi‑vendor broadcast infrastructures.
Engineered for uncompromising image quality, the card supports up to eight channels of HD, UHD 4K, and DCI 4K at up to 120 fps with full static HDR metadata handling (HLG and PQ). Hardware‑based colorspace conversion and 8‑, 10‑, and 12‑bit color sampling in RGB 4:4:4 and YUV 4:2:2 ensure pristine broadcast‑quality fidelity across all formats. Whether capturing uncompressed 10‑bit streams or compressed codecs like ProRes and DNxHR, the DeckLink IP 100G delivers frame‑accurate video with embedded 16‑channel audio.
Integration with major NLE and live production software is seamless:
DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro, and more all recognize the
DeckLink IP 100G for direct IP ingest and playout. Cross‑platform compatibility across macOS, Windows, and Linux ensures flexible deployment in any facility or virtual machine, while the card’s hardware‑level firewall isolates video traffic in frame buffers for enhanced security and protection against rogue network activity.
Built for reliability under continuous operation, the
DeckLink IP 100G features built‑in active cooling, a 6‑pin auxiliary power connector for stable high‑speed operation, and dual QSFP28 ports for full network redundancy. Backed by a three‑year limited manufacturer’s warranty, it installs quickly into any rack‑mount server or desktop workstation—providing a turnkey IP video solution that scales with the evolving needs of next‑generation broadcast and streaming workflows.
